Abstract
A vehicular control system includes a forward-viewing camera, a forward-sensing sensor and a cabin-sensing imaging sensor. With the system controlling driving of the vehicle, the system determines a triggering event that triggers handing over driving of the vehicle to a driver of the vehicle before the vehicle encounters an event point associated with the triggering event. The vehicular control system (i) determines a total action time available before the vehicle encounters the event point, (ii) estimates a driver takeover time for the driver to take over control of the vehicle and (iii) estimates a handling time for the driver to control the vehicle to avoid encountering the event point. The vehicular control system estimates the driver takeover time based at least in part on processing by the vehicular control system of the in-cabin image data captured by the cabin-sensing imaging sensor.
